Coronavirus

It has fallen to me to advise you all that we are cancelling all MOF's groups and activities with immediate effect, until the end of April 2020. We will advise you of further cancellations as time goes on.

The Theatre Group Sat 21st March is cancelled

The General Meeting booked for the 26th March is cancelled

The
AGM will be postponed for a month until the 28th May 2020 [to be confirmed]

The V&A Dundee Bus Trip 14 May we will advise in 2 or 3 weeks.

The
Scottish Government advise that in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) the general public are being asked to stay at home as much as possible and avoid unnecessary social contact.

This is
particularly important for people over 70 and those who have high risk and underlying health conditions are being strongly advised to stay at home as much as possible and significantly reduce unnecessary social contact.

The advice is that people should:
minimise social contact by avoiding crowded areas and large gatherings, including religious congregations and smaller gatherings such as restaurants, pubs, bars, clubs, cinemas and gyms. -avoid using public transport as much as possible. -follow the latest
health and travel advice, and follow basic hygiene precautions, such as washing hands frequently, not touching their face and covering their nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. These measures, according to the government, will delay
the spread of the epidemic so that the NHS can cope with demand and save lives.

These measures will be kept under constant review as
they try to slow down the spread of the infection.

South Ayrshire council have closed all customer service centres, The Gaiety Theatre is closed until September.

We will try to keep in contact this could all change we are waiting to see want happens in the next week or two.

We continue to advise our members to use common sense and ask that you think of others at this time, and stay safe!

If you are self-isolating and run out of essentials -please phone The MOF's Mobile No 07961 833 401

- leave a message and your contact number and we will get back to you.
